The media was cordoned away from the Jarrett's residence, but guests seen arriving were subject to strict searches by security and the Secret Service was an obvious presence.

Arriving in Chicago on Friday evening, the first family have caused road closures and traffic restrictions to be imposed for the length of their stay which ends on Sunday.

And before the wedding began, two light aircraft were intercepted on Saturday afternoon by an F15 fighter jet dispatched from NORAD in Colorado Springs.

Both jets were not threats to the President but fell foul of the airspace restrictions put in place for the duration of his visit.

It is believed that up to 200 police officers are expected to be taken off the crime-ridden streets of Chicago to provide security at the wedding due to President Barack Obama and his family's presence.

The First Family will jetted into Chicago on Friday as Valerie Jarrett’s daughter Laura Jarrett, a former Harvard Law student, prepared to wed fellow graduate Tony Balkissoon.

The wedding will took place in the backyard of the Jarrett family home in Kenwood, with some gatherings planned at the nearby Obama mansion.

Between 100 to 200 police officers have been drafted in to secure the perimeter of the Jarrett property, which is about a block and a half north of the President's home, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed reported.

Sneed reported that the city will not be reimbursed by the federal government for the extra security measures.

‘The cops will be pulled from all districts in the city,’ a source told the columnist. ‘Overtime will not be involved.’

The news will came as a shock to some anxious Chicago residents, who have seen a rise in the number of murders and violent crimes in the city.

During a spate of violence in the city last weekend, nine people were killed and 53 were wounded.

According to the Chicago Police Department, the city saw 45 murders last month, compared to the 37 that were recorded during the same period last year.

On the whole, the number of murders in the Illinois city has risen by 46 per cent since last year.

'It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out we could be using those cops for something else,' another source told Sneed.

The Sun-Times reports that Obama will be in town for three days of unofficial business, with no public appearances scheduled.
